Abstract
- The article looks at the mental abilities of various animals, focusing on a study by Joanna Wimpenny which considers the thought processes of crows. The environmental awareness of fruit flies is discussed, noting that they are able to use their attention selectively based on memories rather than reacting randomly to things around them. The author also looks at metacognition in monkeys. INSET: You¿ve got me feeling emotions.
